THE FISHERIES QUESTION.
The Coming Conference on the Question
by Commissions from ENGLAND aud the
United States, at Washington.
WASHINGTON. Sent, ..

WASHINGTON. Sept. ,.
There is some reason 10 believe that the
State department was taken good deal BY
surprise when the public announcement came
by cable that the British government had de
cided to send commissioners to this country
to deal with the Canadian fishery question
There does not appear as yet to have been
any agreement entered into between the State
department and the British foreign office in
regard to the assembling of such a commits.
sion. but Secretary Bayard evidently intends
TO join heartily in the idea, and to appoint
commissioners to meet those who NAV be
sent here sy the British government
In talk with reporter yesterday, Mr..
Bayard said he hoped that such commits
siou might be able to meet as soon as the
weather became cool enough for il to meet
with comfort. The secretary takes hopeful
view of the situation.
He says there has been dispute between
the two countries ever since the foundation
OF our government, growing out of the estab-
lishment of the boundary line between the
United States and Canada. 1t is true no
blood has been shed, but the feelings of the
people on both sides of the disputed line have
at times run high, and only the most pru.
dent and cautious handling of the subject has
prevented bloodshed.
some definite conclusion should be reached
in this matter, aud Great Britain also seems
inclined the same way, as neither of the two
countries interested care to disturb the
friendly relations now existing between them.
There have been volumes of correspondence
on the subject between the two governments,
but 1t is conceded that three representatives
of England-perhaps Mr.. Chamberlain, Sir
Lionel West and Sir John MacDonald-and
like number from the United States, after a
discussion of the subject at Washington, will
be able TO reach a fair and permanent settle
ment of this long disputed question.
Mr. Bayard says he has not decided whom
he will select to represent the United States
on the proposed commission. He saws he
has a number of gentlemen i'll his mind, all
of whom are capable of dealing with the ques-
ton intelligently and impartislly, and at the
same time carefully guard the interests of the
United States.
Some persons have advocated more aggres
sive measures on the part of the United
States, but Mr.. Bayard says that he feels
that there is no necessity of resorting to
bloodshed or becoming involved in an inter
national conflict when there is a strong prob
ability that better results can be obtained by
arbitration.
The commission will probably hold its con-
sultations at the State department, and as
soon as the British government notifies the
State department who its representatives are
to be, the names of the American members
of the commission will be announced.

The B. & o. will hereafter be run in har.

The telegraph line will be controlled if not

The deal which brings about these changes
is engineered by Drexel Morgan & Co, as.
sisted by Edward Sauterbach, the latter's de.
